A member of the French national team since 2003, Turiaf has been one of the most regular players of the team even if he didn’t participate in last year's EuroBasket in Lithuania due to a broken hand injury.

“I love playing for the national team, it has always been an honour for me to play for my country,” he admitted.

“I was so happy for my teammates to win a silver medal in Lithuania. France proved in this tournament that we are one of the best teams in the world.”

“The team showed that we have the talent to reach a medal in the next Olympics for sure.”

A member of the preliminary squad ahead of the Olympics, Turiaf will do his best to get a spot on the final roster for London.

“I’m going to give my all to be on the team that will compete in London,” he said.
